GAINS Australia Inventory Management
GAINS Solutions
GAINS is an enterprise-scale best of breed advanced planning and inventory management solution that encompasses the following solutions:

Demand Planning and Forecasting
GAINS employs a proprietary Hybrid Pattern Matching technique to produce market leading forecast accuracy results.  Combined with a completely flexible front end that allows the tool to be configured the way the business process needs and users want, organisations with GAINS evolve from simply predicting future demand to influencing it to maximise service and profit.  Advanced event and promotional planning supports strategic decision making, and lets management assess and compare the impact of demand stimulating activities on the bottom line before committing to a course of action.

Inventory Optimisation
Companies look to inventory optimisation to achieve two things; higher customer service and lower inventory.  GAINS’ unique inventory management technology takes this to a whole new level; by considering the entire distribution network and product range simultaneously, matching it to the business strategy, and accounting for operating costs GAINS’ profit optimises.  In other words, rather than just minimise inventory GAINS will proactively set service targets that maximise profit for any given set of constraints (for example, a specific sales budget, closing stock target or available spend) across the business. Contact us to find out more about this ground breaking capability.

Replenishment Optimisation
Anyone who has been responsible for purchasing and replenishment decisions knows the multitude of factors that need to be considered before committing to a purchase or transfer order.  With over thirty years of development, GAINS’ replenishment optimisation functionality has been honed to the point where it’s not unusual for over 95% of recommended orders to be executed without user intervention with ideal results.  With a slick workflow that is configurable to the business process, and underpinned by an exception management capability, businesses that use GAINS can custom-manage the complexity of millions of SKU/location combinations and multiple distribution hierarchies with small teams.

Sales Inventory and Operations Planning (SI&OP)
For SI&OP to be effective, it requires more than just a series of meetings.  High quality, accurate information needs to be available at management’s finger tips.  GAINS provides a one-stop shop for sales forecasts, purchasing plans, inbound & outbound projections, closing stock targets and a host of other fundamental data points essential for effectively running a business.  Because these reports are built from the bottom up, they truly reflect what is going to happen and can be aggregated in whatever grouping is relevant to the business decision on the fly – be it category, location, sales channel, vendor, business unit or anything else.  And of course, in accordance with GAINS’ market leading simulation capability, strategic decisions can be tested and evaluated before they are implemented.

Supply Chain Optimisation
To optimise a supply chain, organisations need to consider the Four C’s: Capital, Costs, Constraints, and Customer Service.  And match it to the business strategy.  GAINS enables this by considering all these factors and recommending what products should be stocked, where and how much to minimise storage and transport costs whilst delivering to the customer requirements.  Incorporating supplier performance takes this to the next level, allowing GAINS users to trade-off different vendor options and negotiate based on actual performance implications.
